Transgene expression.
Detection under dark field illumination (magnification × 6) of CMV-GMTag AU− (A) and AU+ (B) transgene expression in E14 embryo by in situ hybridization using [35S]-labeled GM-CSF antisense riboprobe; (C) nontransgenic embryo. The white dots observed in the CMV-GMTag AU− sample correspond to dispersed transgenic mRNA-containing cells. White lines appearing in the CMV-GMTag AU+ and nontransgenic samples correspond to artifacts due to dust and manipulation. (D-G) Detection under bright field illumination of CMV-GMTagAU− transgene expression (black dots) (D) and expression foci at greater magnification (× 100) in the choroid plexus (E), the olfactory epithelium (F), and heart (G). (H) Staining of the heart by hemalum-eosin to show transgene expression by cells in clusters in blood vessels (arrows); br indicates brain; cp, choroı̈d plexus; he, heart; oe, olfactory epithelium; and ve, ventricule. These expression patterns are representative of the different embryos analyzed.
